Have an idea for a neighborhood project? Get $500 for it!

This is pretty neat. A tipster sent in a program called Neighborhood Wishlist from PNC Bank, who are giving $500 to help fund neighborhood projects. Here's more, and you can enter on their Facebook page (you have to like it first.)

You'd better get the project in fast though, they're only taking the first 500 projects that come in before they pick finalists. There's also a voting aspect, with the projects that get the most votes going on in the contest.

Get up to $500 for your neighborhood!

Introducing PNC Neighborhood Wishlist, an exciting new community program that can help you make good things
happen in your neighborhood.

Here's how it works:

1- Submit a project
Tell us how you'd improve your community for $500 or less. We'll choose up to 100 ideas to post on the Wishlist.

2- Spread the word
If your project is picked, get your friends to vote for it. You'll need one vote for every dollar you ask for.

3- Make it happen
If you reach your goal, we'll give you up to $500 to turn your project into a reality.

Submission starts June 18th, but we'll only be reviewing the first 500 projects that come in before July 1st to pick our 100 finalists, so submit yours as soon as you can!

Even if you don't have an idea, you can support and share other people's projects when voting begins. It's all part of working together to make our neighborhoods better.
